No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

this website, talk to professors, other websites

What impressed you positively?

how well they organized the event; information was presented very well to students; people seemed happy to have you there

What impressed you negatively?

the location of this school was like a dirty downtown area; not a traditional campus like I expected at all

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

hmmm, I guess I should have thought more about which campus I would prefer to stay at (some students transfer to the Knoxville campus after the 1st year). You're given the choice to choose your preference at the interview.

What are your general comments?

It was intimidating at first to see 25-30 other students in the interview process with you but I got my confidence back when I was talking one on one with the professor and a student. Interview was very well coordinated, and quite lenghty. Be prepared to answer a few pages of questions when you first come in to the interview location. Interviewers and students giving the tour were nice, and the lunch they provided in the end was a good end to the interview process. Overall it was a positive experience; I just wish the area was nicer.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
